- Repairs from £95
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chipped corners
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Worktop repair in Bankend, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are frequently asked to fix damage from fitting or building work and chipped corners, in laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bankend. The price depends on:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?

What we are called out for in Bankend
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Scorch marks from pans
- Scratches and knife marks
- Damage from fitting or building work
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
